Any one's 2 year olds still in diapers with no interest in the potty

My 2 year old daughter has no interest in the potty. She got interested around 18 months but I wanted to wait till it got warmer outside. I feel like maybe it was a mistake holding her back and not encouraging her. I can't even get her to sit on her potty anymore. Shes smart enough to know when she goes and let's me know when she's wet or dirty. She just doesn't wanna sit on her potty when needing to go. Is there anyway I can get her interest back? We've tried videos, books, asking her and reminding her where poop and pee goes, bribing her with rewards and nothing works. I also don't want to force or push the issue because it won't solve anything. I'm having another baby though and I really don't want 2 in diapers but maybe I'm being unrealistic...

My son also is showing no signs of being ready to potty train. He refuses to sit on the small potty, is perfectly content to sit in a dirty diaper, doesn't tell me when he has peed or pooped. I'm not pushing it right now, just waiting until he shows more signs of readiness.

I am a bit bummed though, I was hoping to get PT at least started during the summer, before I go back to work and he starts daycare. Oh well.

My daughter can remove her diaper, pull her pants off and put them back on,...

My daughter can remove her diaper, pull her pants off and put them back on, but shows no interest in her potty. I'm not sure either!

I second that as well. Shes on her way with dressing herself and can undress all by herself. Shes always wants to do things by herself becoming more independant. We just put her in pull ups and now she always wants to pull her own pants up after changing. I had an issue with her taking her diapers off a couple months ago and playing in her poop. That was devastating. Finally one good cold shower did the trick. I felt bad about it later but at least I've had no more messy poopy play incidents.

Nope! None. He complained about poop for about two seconds, and got over that real fast. He's aware of what he's doing, but no interest in going in the potty. We don't plan on pushing it. His pedi said when he's ready, he will tell you. We are going with that. Of course we talk about the potty, read books, etc. but that's the extent of it.

No interest here. She started taking off her diaper during nap/bed time once we switched to a toddler bed. People were saying that means she might be ready to potty train but I kinda doubt it. Plus I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have less than zero interest in starting right now. I duct tape her diaper now (don't judge me... I got really sick of washing her bedding daily) and we'll try when she's 2.5
